3 Years in One? (Posted on 2003-05-27)

At a party, the guest of honor stood up to make an anouncement. She said:

"The day before yesterday i was only fourteen. Next year, I will be 17."

How is this possible?

She said this on January the 1st, when she's 15.
Her birthday is December 31st.
The day before yesterday was before her 15th birthday, so she was 14.
By the last day of the year, she will be 16.
By the last day of the next year, she will be 17.
